A new political party, spearheaded by Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin, is slated for launch next month and is anticipated to draw in several former leaders from both UMNO and PKR. The exact lineup of these prominent figures, however, remains under wraps until Hamzah's official announcement.
Mohd. Shukor Mustaffa, a proponent of the Reset Selangor movement, indicated that the party's launch would be accompanied by an announcement from Hamzah himself during the forthcoming Reset Convention. "Wait for the launch (of the new party), let Datuk Hamzah announce it, there will be (names of former UMNO, PKR leaders)," he told Utusan Malaysia.
While details are scarce, the move signals a significant development in Malaysia's political landscape. The inclusion of former leaders from established parties like UMNO and PKR suggests an effort to build a broad coalition and appeal to a diverse voter base. The party's platform and specific policy proposals are yet to be revealed, adding to the anticipation surrounding its official unveiling.
The Reset Convention is expected to be the venue where Hamzah Zainudin officially introduces the party and its core members. Political observers are keenly watching this development, as it could potentially reshape existing political alliances and dynamics within the country.
